But this should be a larger debate beyond the remit of nation states that involves the broader civil society and other stakeholders. These technologies did not just appear on their own, they were developed by individuals, groups, communities and companies and so forth. Why are we so afraid to create a discourse and bridge the gaps opposed to the propaganda? Why not raise and argue at the IGF and regional fora? Why not a dynamic coalition on the issue? <span></span><br><br>On Thursday, 2 April 2015, Jefsey <<a href="mailto:jefsey@jefsey.com">jefsey@jefsey.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Fouad,<br>

the problem is not that much what they do, but that they do it in order to accustom us to what they are going to do soon - by Sept. 30, 2015: i.e. to formally make ICANN the international law of the internet - and the FCC the cybersupreme court. The transition is from an US Executive Dominion to a colonny under US jursdiction (cf. TPP, TAFTA, etc.)<br>
Up to now, the only consideration for an alternative is my appeal (<a href="http://iuwg.net/index.php/Letter_to_Lawrence_E._Strickling,_Assistant_Secretary,_NTIA" target="_blank">http://iuwg.net/index.php/<u></u>Letter_to_Lawrence_E._<u></u>Strickling,_Assistant_<u></u>Secretary,_NTIA</a>). <br>

RFC 2026 states: "In all cases a decision concerning the disposition of the dispute, and the communication of that decision to the parties involved, must be accomplished within a reasonable period of time." The delay in responding shows that they consider it carefully as it desserves. So far everything is on track. I expect that several "MYCANN Plugs-in" will be ready by Oct. 1st.<br>

How far will nations go with addressing the cyberattack threat?<br>
Pakistan has a cybercrime bill in the making that treats such attacks<br>
within its borders as treason and severe punishments while larger<br>
powerful nations with global reach like the US are going to treat this<br>
possibly with sanctions. Civil Society has so far been a back seat<br>
audience on such contemporary security issues. There have been<br>
academic interventions on such subjects but within the practitioner<br>
and regulatory spaces, there hardly have been any alternative<br>
approaches to seriously address such issue. May be some consideration<br>
in future IGFs?<br>
